Be polite to your neighbor’s pet

Also, in more news of the polite . . . .

Politeness is a family affair.

The Trigg County Sheriffs Department said Sunday a 19-year-old was charged after a 5-year-old shot his 4-year-old sister.

Authorities said the 5-year-old got his hands on a .22 caliber revolver that was left loaded and unattended in a home.

Had the little girl had been packing, she would no doubt have been able to defend herself.

After all, a BB gun is just a toy. What could possibly go wrong?

A seven-year-old girl was taken to a Wichita hospital Sunday morning after police say she was accidentally shot in the face with a BB gun in the 2200 block of East Maywood.

Police say the shooting occurred while the seven year old was playing with a BB gun with a 29-year-old man who was babysitting her.

More adventures in self-politeness . . .

When they arrived, police said they found a man with a wound in his leg. They secured the scene for an investigation and administered first aid until paramedics arrived. Police said investigators determined the man had been shot when the gun accidentally discharged.

. . . and another gun that seems to discharge itself.

Politeness is a family affair.

Detective Sergeant Bryan Brown told THV11 News that one of two people inside the home came out, seeking help from a neighbor and told them he had accidentally shot the other person. Brown said the apparent shooter is a 15-year-old while the victim is an 18-year-old; both are related to each other.

A police report indicates that the 15-year-old was frantically saying “Uncle, I’m sorry!” to the victim while at the scene. He was reportedly playing with a gun and accidentally shot the 18-year-old.

Politeness takes practice.

A 64-year-old man was shot and killed in an apparent accident at a gun range near Concord, authorities said.

Like many Americans, the polite don’t seem to take kindly to bicyclists.

A 10-year-old girl was shot Tuesday night while riding her bike in the South Salt Creek neighborhood, Lincoln police said.

The girl told police she was riding near Eighth and Peach streets about 8:30 when she heard a loud bang and felt something hit the inside of her right knee, Officer Katie Flood said.

This ends today’s update from NRA Paradise.

The polite teach through example.

A man accidentally shot himself in the hand Saturday while trying to show his wife how to use a gun.

(snip)

The victim said he thought the safety was on. He said he accidentally touched the trigger while picking up the gun and it went off . . . .

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

A man who shot himself Friday evening while reportedly cleaning a high-powered rifle remained hospitalized on Monday.

If you are too stupid to unload a gun before you clean it, you are too stupid to play with guns. Q. E. D.

Afterthought:

I just got it!

“Cleaning” is an ammosexual euphemism for “stroking repeatedly in a loving manner.”

Yet another responsible gun owner facilitates youthful hijinks in a polite manner.

A 7-year-old LaGrange, Ga. boy was shot in the back in an accidental shooting on Sunday morning.

The victim and two other young children were playing in a room together and one of them found a loaded gun, the Ledger-Enquirer reported. The victim was shot by one of the other children.

Politeness requires class.

A 23-year-old man accidentally shot himself during a gun safety class at a pawn shop, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

The gun went off accidentally and the bullet grazed his leg, Hopkins said.

. . . and yet another gun that goes off on its own without reported intervention of human agency.

Afterthought:

I guess this aspiring Wyatt Earp is now a pawn star.

Play politely.

Marathon County Chief Deputy Chad Billeb said the boys were playing outside in the rural town of Reid when the older boy grabbed the .22-caliber pistol in a “terrorist manner” and it went off, hitting his cousin in the face.

Billeb said investigators don’t believe the boys intended for anyone to get hurt.

Daniel Ruth is not sanguine about the move, which will likely be successful because it’s Florida, in Florida to allow hunting in state parks. A snippet:

Don’t you suspect Tallahassee will never rest until there is virtually no corner of the state (with the sole exception of the Florida Legislature) where guns won’t be a ubiquitous, obnoxious presence?

What family will visit a state park, stroll through the woods, perhaps kayak down a stream, or enjoy a bit of bird-watching knowing they will have to deal with the possibility of running into some fully armed yahoo in hot pursuit of capping a raccoon?

Fetishes are compelling. Fetishists can’t help themselves.

Ammosexuals will not rest until every city is Dodge City; every hill, Boot Hill.

A polite society is a clean society.

48-year-old Timothy Hal Cartee died from a gunshot wound. He was cleaning out his car when it happened. Foul play is not suspected and the death is being investigated as an accidental discharge.
